Sinopsis

This book explores the most significant computational methods and theáhistory of their development. It begins with the earliest mathematical / numerical achievements made by the Babylonians and theáGreeks, followed by the period beginning in the 16th century. Foráseveral centuries the main scientific challenge concerned the mechanics of planetary dynamics, and the book describes the basic numerical methods of that time.á In turn, at the end of the Second World War scientific computing took a giantástep forward with the advent of electronic computers, whichágreatly accelerated the development of numericalámethods. As a result, scientific computing became established as a third scientificámethod in addition to the two traditional branches: theory andáexperimentation. The book traces numerical methodsâÇÖ journey back to their origins andáto the people who invented them, while also briefly examining the development of electronic computers over the years.áFeaturing 163 references and more than 100áfigures, many of them portraits or photos of key historical figures, the book provides a unique historical perspective on the generaláfield of scientific computing - making it a valuable resource for all students and professionals interested in the history of numerical analysis and computing, and for a broader readership alike.
